Let me know how the Racing Raven one fits. I am debating about buying their Mspeed GT replica, but wasn't sure how the fitment would be from them.

I received mine last weekend, test fitted it on the trunk and took the attached photos. When the lip is resting on the trunk without glue, the driver's side is raised from the surface by approximately 1/4". Do you guys think this is within normal tolerance?

I don't believe it is a replica of OEM, INGS nor R-Magic. If it is a replica of something, please let me know what it is. I did a quick search here and couldn't find any info. I really like the size and angle of this lip and it seems like it would provide a bit of downforce.

If I do happen to get it, I have a question. It says the spoiler is to be installed with "strong silicon glue". What type of silicon glue is strong enough? Alternatively, if I choose to use 3M double-sided ahesive, is there a specific model of 3M I should be after?

Some pictures:

Hey guys, I finally got this lip installed. The fitment is so-so. Pics attached. I really like the angle and size of this lip.

Can you get some daytime close ups? That would help a lot to see the fitment.

Bump. Really liking this lip but would like to hear more feedback from people who have bought it. How is the fitment? Are they all off like K.C.C.'s? Does the painted one fit better than the carbon fiber one? Lastly, why is there large differences in prices for the painted one? Like one is only $50, while another is $129. Is one worse than the other? Lol.

Wow, they are so much cheaper now. When I bought mine, it worked out to be more expensive than the R-Magic lip group buy at the time. Here's a pic I posted in the media forum.

Actually, with them being cheaper, I fear it may mean the molds have gone bad and the fitment is even worse than before. Just a speculation.

This lip looks pretty good, its clean and subtle without being lost in the look of the car. 3M adhesive tape is your friend though when it comes to mounting a lip style spoiler, mine is held down with 4 bolts because its big enough to be but I have a couple of feet of 3M tape holding it down and mine is going nowhere.....

Negative, I installed it using 3M adhesive tape. I guess I am not very good at following instructions...

I think it would look better if it laid a little flatter. Does it have to be mounted so upright?

has anyone bought this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA...#ht_7516wt_913

i was checking all the other links and lips out but this one is the cheapest and i dont want to spend a ton on a lip. but then again with such a low price quality and fitment is questionable.
